ip·Solis is the missing layer between a CMDB, IAM/HR systems and provisioning runbooks — a self-hosted platform for IT Asset Lifecycle Management with self-service and automation, built for teams running mixed on-prem and cloud estates.
Employees request VDIs, shared desktops, SaaS or any IT asset through a self-service portal with OpenID Connect SSO — Entra ID, Okta, Ping, Google, Keycloak or any compliant IdP, plus on-prem AD/LDAP. Managers approve in one click, with multi-approver quorums, conditional rules and out-of-office delegation. Chained PowerShell 7 runbooks then execute against Active Directory, SCCM, XenServer/XCP-ng and VMware vSphere — with critical-step semantics and overlap protection.
Assets are managed across their full lifecycle: pooled or personal assignment, quotas, expiry reminders and policy-driven deprovisioning. Compliance is built in: access certification campaigns (ISO 27001 / SOX / PCI), an append-only audit log with JSON diffs, SCIM 2.0 and HR-webhook leaver flows (Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Microsoft Graph), SIEM streaming (Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel) and Prometheus/OpenTelemetry observability. A cost report tracks spend by provider, consumer and department.
ip·Solis is API-first (OpenAPI/Swagger, scoped tokens, webhooks) and deploys in an afternoon via Docker Compose — on-prem or fully air-gapped, with no telemetry.
Free for productive use with up to 25 active users, including in a commercial or organizational context (plus private use, 30-day evaluation and non-productive research/teaching). Above 25 active users a commercial license applies, priced in volume bands (from €1,488/year for 26–75 users, €2,988/year for 76–250; larger volumes on request). Source-available under the XenPool Commercial Source License — not open source. B2B only.

IT Operations leads, Workplace Engineering and IAM teams, plus IT FinOps and CISOs, in mid-market and enterprise organizations running mixed on-prem and cloud estates — especially Microsoft-centric environments (Entra ID, Active Directory, SCCM, Teams) that need self-service provisioning with strong approval workflows, audit trails and compliance.
ip·Solis's answer
ip·Solis is the missing layer between a CMDB, your IAM/HR systems, and provisioning runbooks. Most tools cover one slice — asset inventory, ticketing, or scripting. ip·Solis ties the whole lifecycle together:
It's self-hosted and deploys in an afternoon via Docker — on-prem or fully air-gapped.

ip·Solis's answer
ip·Solis grew out of roughly 30 years of hands-on datacenter operations experience. Enterprise IT automation shouldn't require a six-month rollout and a six-figure license — yet teams kept rebuilding the same self-service + approval + provisioning glue by hand. ip·Solis packages that into one opinionated, self-hostable platform you can deploy in an afternoon. It's built and maintained by XenPool GmbH in Garching near Munich, Germany.
